Tailwinds and Rising Meadows

This afternoon, I watched Manhunter, which is basically Red Dragon from the 80's. I think I like Red Dragon more just because of Hannibal. There's more of him in that one and he also seems more intelligent and calculating there. But it was good. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences.

I'm sick. Sick. Sick. Either my mother gave me her cold on Saturday or it's been coming for a while. I've been getting headaches almost everyday for a week, so I'm inclined to think that that's related to my newly developed sore throat, stuffy nose, and fuzzy-headedness.

This afternoon, I met with my new conversation partner. He's from Korea and he's studying computer science. The conversation went surprisingly well. Usually I can't hold up conversations for long, but we were talking for a good 80 minutes. The length of the conversation was especially surprising considering my inability to form complete thoughts.

I have new shoes! They are light brown and wonderful. I would sleep with them next to me if Nidhal weren't there. I also have a new used DVD entitled Das Experiment. Now if I just didn't have so much homework.
